We all must have had some great fun during our school/college days, playing pranks and I'm sure we still recollect those days and have a hearty laugh over it. It is always enjoyable to fool your friends, thus inducing a bit of humor that does no harm. If you have a few ideas in mind, why not try it out on your good friends who can be pranked, punked and spoofed out-and-out, without you having to worry about them being hurt in any manner? I bet you'll have a cracker of a time.
So, talking about my experience in pulling off pranks, the other day I had my weekly off from work. As I was alone at home, I decided to have a few friends come over to my place. Now, I am not really the "regular get-together" kinda gal. So, before my friends arrived, I decided to prepare a few things to pull pranks on them. After that, all I had to do was, sit back and watch the fun. Now, I thought I'll let my readers know about these pranks and a few others that I have pulled on people in my many years of experience. Take a look ...

Pranks You Can Play on Friends |
|
It's amusing to pull off harmless pranks on unsuspecting friends, and there are many ways to do that. You don't need to wait for April Fool's Day to fool around with your friends. In fact, you can pull off naughty pranks anytime, to flummox and just plain mess with your loved ones and friends. Here goes some mischievous pranks ...
|
|
Leave a recording on your friend's answering machine that Mr. Smith (or some name like that) called and requires him/her to return the call on an urgent basis. Leave the number of the local zoo for them to call back on! |
|
|
If you have a friend who uses an optical mouse, tape a piece of paper over the eye of the mouse. When they start working, they will realize that the mouse is not working. When they turn it back, they will see the paper. For better effect, write something like "Usage Prohibited For Fools" or something to that effect. |
|
|
For a friend who is not a very good typist and keeps looking from keyboard to screen, you can carefully remove a few keys and change their locations. This way, whenever, your friend tries to type something, they will end up making serious typos. |
|
|
Tape about twenty disposable glasses filled with water on a colleague's workstation. When they arrive at work, their biggest challenge will be to get rid of the glasses without dropping water. |
|
|
Sprinkle some salt on your friend's toothpaste. This is one of the very funny pranks to pull off on friends. This way, when your friend starts brushing his/her teeth, he/she will be in for a salty surprise. |
|
|
If your friend is one of those people who turns on the shower before they enter the tub, this is one of the easy pranks to pull on friends for them. Turn the shower head to face it outside. This way, when he turns on the shower, he/she will be in for quite a surprise. |
|
|
Take nail polish and apply it on the soap. Leave it to dry and place it in the bathroom. This way, whenever someone wishes to use the soap, they will have a hard time using it. |
|
|
Make copies of paper clips and put the pages back in the tray of the copier. This way, when someone makes a copy, they will have marks of paper clips on them, and will have a hard time looking for the paper clips. |
|
|
You can mess with your friend's computer when you notice him/her leave the room. All you've got to do is, turn on the 'contrast' of the PC completely up and turn the 'brightness' of the screen all the way down. When your friend returns to his/her chair, the screen would appear all black! You can further make him/her freak out by saying that there has been a virus attack, and that led to a blackout! |
|
|
Swap your colleague's pen with similar looking ones. The catch here is that you glue their tops on. This way, they all will be struggling to open their pens the next day. |
|
|
In case someone cuts their finger, while you are around, tell them that lime juice is the best remedy to stop the bleeding and heal the cut. Ouch! That's going to hurt. Make sure that you are around when they actually try it out. |
|
|
This is one of the classic pranks to pull on your friends. Take some Saran Wrap and spread it on the toilet seat. It is an old prank and still works. However, be warned that, for men it can cause quite a mess, and for ladies, it can cause quite a surprise. |
|
|
Tinker around with the 'spell check option' on Microsoft Word. What you could do is, click on 'Tools' and go to the 'AutoCorrect Option'. Here, type a word like "however", and substitute it with something unconnected like "mad monkey". Haha! What fun it would be to watch your colleague or friend, racking his/her brains and hitting the 'backspace button' over and over, trying to figure out, how in the world could something like that have happened! |
|
|
You can make a mouse work tardily by fiddling with the PC settings. Go to the control panel, check the mouse options, choose pointer settings and alter the speed. I can bet your friend would go crazy with the mouse working at a snail's pace! |
On my part, I thoroughly enjoyed pulling all the above pranks. Some antics make for a great laugh all around, leaving you to watch the face of the person who succumbed to the prank, go red-faced. But a word of advice here; these are your friends, so don't go too far. More so, if they wish to get back at you, take it in good spirit.
